New version of PaintCAD Mobile - free ad-free pixel art image editor for Android and J2ME is in development now.

All interface component lines will be scaled to "virtual pixels" sizes. Virtual pixel size is increasing with screen resolution of your device.

Current development tasks: scaling of all windows, named in source code from A to Z. Last scaled window is Tools now

You can download any beta-builds including last one from Telegram. Last build is:

APK (Android 2.3.3 and higher): https://t.me/blackstrip_ru/733
JAR (Java 2 Microedition): https://t.me/blackstrip_ru/734

On some new android devices installing of PaintCAD cannot be done, showing message "This app is incompatible" because targetSDK of APK is too low (app doesn't request any permissions in runtime, but new androids are afraid it). My Redmi Turbo 3 with Android 15 installs this APK perfectly, but some other devices with Android 15 can't install this with showing "incompatible..." message. It can be resolved in future with increasing of targetSDK number and adding permission requests in source code.
